Technical Abstract

An example operation includes one or more of detecting, by a transport, a difference between sensor data associated with a location outside the transport and data stored on the transport and updating, by the transport, the data stored on the transport with the difference.

Patent Claims
6 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection. Each claim is shown in both the original legal language and a plain English translation.

Claim 3

Original Legal Text

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the data is associated with the location comprises one or more camera images at the location, the one or more camera images comprising one or more of a traffic accident, construction, one or more signs, and a road or traffic condition.

Plain English Translation

This invention relates to a method for analyzing location-based data, particularly camera images, to identify and process specific visual elements relevant to transportation and traffic management. The method captures and processes images from one or more cameras at a given location to detect and classify key features such as traffic accidents, construction zones, road signs, and road or traffic conditions. These detected elements are then used to generate insights or alerts, such as identifying hazards, updating navigation systems, or improving traffic flow. The system may integrate with other data sources to enhance accuracy or provide real-time updates. The method ensures that the captured images are analyzed to extract meaningful information, which can be used for safety monitoring, infrastructure management, or automated decision-making in transportation systems. By focusing on specific visual elements, the method provides a structured approach to interpreting camera data for practical applications in traffic and road management.

Claim 5

Original Legal Text

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the difference comprises information related to one or more of a traffic accident, construction, one or more signs, and a road or traffic condition.

Claim 9

Original Legal Text

9. The transport of claim 7, wherein the data is associated with the location comprises one or more camera images at the location, the one or more camera images comprises one or more of a traffic accident, construction, one or more signs, and a road or traffic condition.

Claim 10

Original Legal Text

10. The transport of claim 7, wherein the transport is configured to display information reflecting the patch in response to reception of the patch at the transport.

Plain English Translation

A system for managing software updates in a distributed computing environment addresses the challenge of efficiently distributing and applying patches across multiple devices. The system includes a transport mechanism that receives software patches from a central server and distributes them to target devices. The transport is configured to display information about the received patch, such as its identifier, version, or status, to ensure transparency and verification of the update process. This feature helps administrators and users track the progress of patch deployment and confirm that the correct updates are being applied. The transport may also validate the patch before distribution, ensuring integrity and security. By providing real-time feedback on patch status, the system enhances reliability and reduces errors in software update management. The solution is particularly useful in large-scale deployments where manual tracking of updates is impractical. The transport mechanism may operate as part of a broader patch management framework, integrating with other components to automate and streamline the update process. This approach minimizes downtime and ensures consistent software versions across all devices in the network.

Claim 11

Original Legal Text

11. The transport of claim 7, wherein the difference comprises information related to one or more of a traffic accident, construction, one or more signs, and a road or traffic condition.

Plain English translation pending...
Claim 15

Original Legal Text

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13, wherein the data is associated with the location comprises one or more camera images at the location, the one or more camera images comprising one or more of a traffic accident, construction, one or more signs, and a road or traffic condition.

Plain English Translation

This invention relates to a computer-readable medium storing instructions for processing location-based data, particularly camera images captured at specific locations. The system is designed to analyze and utilize visual data to enhance situational awareness, such as identifying and categorizing relevant events or conditions at a given location. The camera images may depict various scenarios, including traffic accidents, construction zones, road signs, or other traffic and road conditions. By associating these images with their respective locations, the system enables improved navigation, safety monitoring, or real-time traffic management. The data may be used to alert drivers, update navigation systems, or provide insights for infrastructure planning. The invention focuses on leveraging visual data to improve decision-making in transportation and urban environments.
